I live Battery Park City where we have two grocery stores owned by the same company which is probably why they both suck. I love Fresh Direct...the food is better, cheaper, and there's much more variety and, everything is well, fresh. In the analog groceries 'round here you have to check the expiration dates like a hawk or else you end up with stuff a few weeks past the expiration date, or sometimes they are out of fairly standard items like hot dog relish (for weeks).
I always do a big Fresh Direct buy every 2-3 weeks and then fill in from the grocery here and there. And I'm attempting to grow my own tomatoes...don't know how well they'll survive my balcony but I'm trying!
